IMAGE DESCRIPTION: 

Earth, water fire and air, bound together with magic. Man the ultimate product
of the four elements, juggles them in the hope of creating new forms.



DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: 


The ground was an image map imported from Vue d'esprit 2 and re textured in
povray. The lake is a simple plane. The sun mist and atmosphere are straight
forward. The figure is a csg object. The hands started as an anatomically
correct CSG construction but did not look right at such a small scale so they
have been changed to look ok and are no longer correct from any other position.
The monoliths are Julia fractals  but the ring of stones were imported as
individual arches from the net.
